  The Memorial has just Started

  by Prisca in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well, it's almost 7pm in sydney australia and no doubt some congregations would be starting their memorials very soon, if not already.

  due to the overcast conditions, i can't see the moon, but one of the special things about this time of the year is seeing the full moon, which reminds me of the specialness of the memorial ritual held for me as i was growing up.. this is the second time in my entire life that i will be absent from the memorial.

  it was strange last year to be not attending for the first time ever, but this year i feel more comfortable about it.. i'm not sure why.

  Does anyone get scared?

  by aud8 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does anyone who has left the organisation ever get scared at current world events and what they seem to be leading to?

  more and more the governments are getting fed up with religion, there is now more than even a call "for" peace rather than "of" peace and security.

  bin laden and his extremist religious views would give rise to the thought that governments will in the future be intent on eradicating religion altogether due to the trouble it causes.

  Met my first Elder after diassociation

  by aud8 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well i met my first witness (and it would have to be an elder who i always got on well with) last night after my disassociation 3 weeks ago and i was not prepared for how hard it felt.

  i had the most human reaction of recognising someone i knew and had to stop myself saying hi.

  he just rushed past me.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i took this pic last week on the family farm in bonnie scotland.

  her ladyship is busily munching on her toast and marmalade whilst 2 of the dogs watch and drool.. my question is this: both the dogs are top pedigree animals and weigh in at 140 pounds each.

  can you identify the breed?.

  What does the WTBTS have to gain?

  by aud8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question:.

  if the wtbts is so into deceiving everyone and trying to reel in as many newcomers as possible, what does it actually have to gain from this?

  why are they always trying to switch teachings to make themselves look "believable"?
